Cleaning is good exercise for me.

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis and it limits me a lot of times on what I can and cannot do daily.
I was able to almost get one whole room deep cleaned today. I am happy about that. I still have a few things left to do in here though but I can continue with that tomorrow or the next chance I get to finish it.
I did like getting the much needed exercise doing it too. That made me feel a little better also after being caged up all winter.

My aunt has Fibro and she goes through periods where it's all she can do get out of bed. Then times when she's able to do so much. I don't wish that or any kind of nerve degenerative disease on anyone.

@stephcjh That was my aunt for years + the fibro fog. She's finally gotten a medicine that works for her thankfully.
I had a co-worker who had fibro + migraines going for her and she somehow managed to work through it.

Are you pretty active though? I think you are as far as what I have read in your posts. Being active is good exercise no matter what you are doing. I was happy to be able to be active just cleaning.
Spring and summer is coming up also so yard work will give me some more exercise.

At least you got it done. That's the most important thing.

@kaylachan You got that right. It never ends. Once you think you are done, it is time to start over again.

Great icon. I'm a big Peanuts fan! Cleaning can be a good diversion sometimes. Not fun but it makes you feel like you accomplished something that day. And with your arthritic condition it must be really satisfying

It sure does. I need to get some of it cleaned and get a good start on it. I have a lot more to do but at least I got started. Hope to get more of it done each day.

Thank you Tina. I stayed at it for the most part and took some breaks to come back online as well. Getting ready to eat as soon as my hubby gets home from work with our food he had to stop and pick up. I haven't ate all day and he hasn't either yet.

I'm so sorry you have so many challenges to contend with. I'm glad you are still able to be active though.
